New Fic - "My First"

[dynarb]

Way to go. Love the humor and especially that you have Faith take charge of the situation. Good idea to leave it to her as the one to be able to tell it like it is.



Kudos.

Cin ,

OMG! I loved the update! and were so funny! thinking of furture sex with the prommel horse and telling Joyce that is wasn't scrumping, it was hot witchy love! And then when Faith caught on that Joyce had caught the witches upstairs and yelled it out. I still think poor Joyce, but she asked for it. Faith saying she loved Buffy. Can't wait to more. Update soon, please?

Chapter Eighty-five



Faith stood her ground, watching Joyce for some sign of a reaction – whether it be positive or negative.



Damn! Looks like my ‘spidey senses’ aren’t gonna help me out with this one at all! It figures!



It seemed as if the whole room was holding their breath, waiting for the signal from Joyce that it was alright to exhale. She took a deep breath and quietly leaned against the countertop, exhaling as she did so, looking rather bewildered by the day’s events.



“M-mom? Are you okay?” Buffy asked, hesitantly.



Joyce looked up at Faith, seemingly unaware of Buffy’s question.



“You love her? You LOVE her? What about all of those times that you dragged her along with you into trouble? You’re trying to tell me that someone who loved her would do that to her? You nearly got her killed!” She said, scoldingly.



“Mom…” Buffy said, taking Faith’s hand in her own. “…Faith never ‘dragged’ me into anything. I went with her because I wanted to…because I wanted to be with her.” She said, looking deeply into the once Dark Slayer’s dark chocolate eyes.



“Sweetie, how can you say that? You couldn’t have wanted to do all of those things on your own! You’re the Slayer! You fight for the good guys!” said Joyce.



Buffy moved over to Joyce, looking at her solemnly. “You have to understand what it’s like…being the Slayer.”



“I’m sorry, Buffy, but that burden is yours alone to bear. I wish I could, but I can’t understand that…no one can!” Joyce said, obviously frustrated.



“Faith can.” Willow said, stepping out from behind the protection of Tara. She finally understood why Buffy and Faith belonged together. Each were the only person in the world, maybe even the universe, that could understand the other. They were meant for each other.



Buffy looked at her sister in amazement and a tear formed in the Slayer’s eye. She knew, she understood, and she accepted it. Her sister accepted that she and Faith were meant to be together.



“What are you talking about, Willow? You know what she’s like…what she made her do!” Joyce said, shaking her head in disbelief that Willow, of all people, would be sticking up for Faith.



“Mom! She didn’t make me do anything! I did it on my own, okay?!” Buffy said, exasperated. She wished that her mother could understand the way that it appeared her sister now did.



Willow stepped forward, hoping to help Joyce understand. She walked over, standing in-between Joyce, Buffy, and Faith.



“It’s kinda like…well…lemme see…” Willow said, looking around for some kind of visual aid to assist in her argument. Her eyes lit up as she spied the basket of fruit sitting on the cupboard. She walked over, taking all but the apples out of the basket, and replacing it on the countertop of the island in front of everyone. “Okay…perfect. Now…imagine that the world is full of apples…and whether they’re green, or red, they are all still happy little apple couples raising their happy little apple families…and all of a sudden, an orange comes along…” she said, taking the orange from the other side of the cupboard and placing it with the apples. “…and the orange tries to go out with the apples…but they really don’t understand what it’s like to be a citrus fruit…and so the orange sits by itself, all lonely and…well, yeah. You know what I mean. Then, one day, another orange comes along and it’s just like the other orange, but maybe a little bit different…like this one is a mandarin orange…and the other is a…um…tangerine? No…that won’t work…tangerines aren’t really oranges…” She said, thinking out loud.



“Keep going, Red. You’re doing great.” Faith said, appreciative of the fact that she was trying to help she and Buffy.



“Yeah…well…thanks. Um…so then the orange is finally happy because it has someone who truly understands what it’s like to be an orange…like when your skin gets squeezed you squirt out this nifty little mist that smells really citrusy and…well, not that the apples weren’t nice and all, because they were. But hey, you can’t really understand what it’s like to be a citrus fruit unless you are one.” Willow said, letting out a deep breath of relief that the explanation was now over. She hoped that it had helped. “Right honey?” She said, looking to Tara for affirmation. The blonde seemed off in another world…



“Honey?” Willow asked again.



Suddenly, Tara snapped out of her daze. “What? Oh…sorry.” She said sheepishly. “Kinda stuck on that whole ‘pommel horse’ idea.” She said, blushing.



Buffy and Faith both tried to stifle their snickering. Willow was too busy blushing to nearly the same color of crimson that her wife was.



Joyce knew that Willow was right. As much as she and all of the others tried, they could never understand how Buffy felt; knew what she needed, or why she needed it. That was something that only Faith could do for her.



Joyce leaned forward, walking over to Faith and looking at her squarely. “My daughter’s happiness is the most important thing in the world to me…and if you are the only person that can truly make her happy, then so be it. But understand this, if you ever hurt her, I will hunt you down and make you pay for hurting my little girl! I may not be a Slayer and all…but trust me when I say the ‘hell hath no fury like a mother scorned!’”



“I have absolutely no doubt, ma’am! And besides…I already got the same warning from her witchy-sis over there.” Faith said, nodding in Willow’s direction.



Joyce looked at the somewhat frail looking, peace-loving red-head in amazement.



“What? I can be quite pushy and tough when I have to! This one time in my Quantum Physics class…the professor asked a question, and I had my hand up first…and he called on someone else! Well…there’s no way I was going to let that guy answer MY question! I stood up right in the middle of the class and gave the answer before he even had the chance to take a breath! Slacker…” She mumbled under her breath.



Everyone burst out laughing…



Tara walked over, slipping her hand into Willow’s, smiling. “Awww…come on killer…you can show me just how spicy you can be.” She said, leading her towards the stairwell to the basement…



Pommel horse…

Cin!!



Welcome back, it's nice to see you and an update. And what an awesome update at that. Hehe, Tara's mind on the pommel horse



Man, this was beautiful, I love the way Willow stuck up for the Slayers. And then her babble about standing up in class



Love it.

God, this is great stuff.

Tara is a naughty little thing. Just one word "pommel horse"

Tehehe...that was cute. Willow babble is always appreciated.

Yay for Alaskans!

Great Job honey!! I like the comparison Willow used, it was very nicely done...and her standing up for Faith & Buffy. I can just picture Joyce's look on her face when Willow came to their aid. And Tara...hehe...pommel horse...I wanna try that idea myself (hint hint)



Always,

So.. apples and oranges.. Good comparison ;)

Will can be so smart!!!



That was a nice update.. So funny, Tara being all distracted, this gotta lead to something nice right ?

[wimpy0729]

Hi Cin! How are you? I was so happy to see an update! You never cease to amaze!



I'd just like to echo everybody else's feelings -- apples and oranges, wonderful analogy. It takes a lot of balls for Faith to face Joyce like that, but we all know Faith has a whole bunch of balls! And of course, I can picture Tara daydreaming about the infamous pommel horse. (I hope they take a Handi-Wipe -- because you know, eww, slayer juices).



I can't blame Joyce for protecting Buffy. I can almost see her using Willow's line -- " and if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel. A vague disclaimer's nobody's friend".



Can't wait to see what you have in mind for your next update.

That thing is going to get a work out yet. is a little naughty. At least Joyce gets it about Faith and Buffy now. The warning was good.

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX



As they approached the stairwell, Tara took Willow’s other hand in hers, backing slowly down the stairs. All the while, her eyes trained seductively on her wife’s, a small lopsided grin on her face.



“So…you think I’m spicy?” Willow asked, smiling as she allowed Tara to guide her slowly down the steps, one-by-one.



Tara’s gaze never wandered, her smile widened as she purred “Definitely spicy.”



“Really?” Willow said, grinning with satisfaction. She had never thought of herself as being ‘spicy’…but she definitely liked the idea!



“Really, really!” Tara said taking the last step onto the basement floor. She moved her hands from Willow’s, grasping her firmly around the waist and lifting her off of the stairs and into her arms.



Willow giggled with excitement “Wow! Check out my sexy wife…getting a little ‘large with the butch’ there, aren’t you honey?”



“What do you mean?” Tara said, taken a bit aback.



“You…lifting me up like that…I’m not exactly light, you know.” Willow said.



“You’re not exactly heavy either, honey.” Tara reminded her.



“I know – but it just seemed so…easy for you.” Willow said, a hint of concern showing in her voice.



“It was…I was just standing there, looking at you…and thinking how romantic it would be if I could literally sweep you off your feet and into my arms…a-and so I did.” Tara said, suddenly realizing the depth of what she had just done.



“You just did?” Willow asked.



“Uh-huh…I just did. I knew I could…and when I reached out to lift you up, you were as light as a feather.” Tara explained.



“Oh wow…” Willow said, obviously now deep in thought “…this is big…this is very big. You think about it…and it happens. We should probably tell Giles about this, baby.”



A look of disappointment spread where a quirky smile once laid.



“Can’t we just forget about it…just for a little while? I don’t want to be the sorceress right now. I just want to be Tara

Rosenberg-Maclay…wife of the incredibly beautiful, powerfully witchy red-head, Willow.”



Willow looked at her wife, tears welling up in her eyes. She took the blonde’s face in her hands, gently placing a chaste kiss on Tara’s full lips.



“Of course, baby…always.” Willow said, sliding her hands down Tara’s arms, entwining her fingers in the blonde’s and leading her towards the pommel horse…



Meanwhile…



“I’m sorry, I don’t think I heard you quite right…” Giles said, holding the phone closer to his ear. The Watcher had spent much of the night with his nose in ancient texts after packing his suitcase for the upcoming trip.



“For the love of…” The voice started, obviously getting somewhat frustrated with the Englishman. “Rupert Giles, I’ve known you since you were knee-high to a grasshopper! You didn’t listen to me then – and you’re not listening to me now! Just get them here as soon as possible…we’ll figure it all out once you get here.”



“Very well…but I’m really not too keen on all of this…waiting that is.”

He said, hesitantly.



“Oh knock it off, Rupert! I’ll see you when you get here.” The woman

said, hanging up with a click.



Hearing the click, Giles hit END on his cell phone, tucking it into his bag, along with two books and a leather-clad oblong box before he headed out the door and into the night.
